Torb loaned me a beautiful Schultz & Larson sporter in 308 Norma Magnum with a Leupold 2-7 scope from the extensive Norma arsenal. The 308 Norma is one of my favorite big game cartridges, I own two, one with a 10" twist for 200+ gr. slugs and one in 14" twist for 150 to 190 gr. Torb shoots a 300 Weatherby Magnum since Norma has manufactured Weatherby ammunition from the beginning.
First: The night before the hunt everyone gets acquainted, each hunter in the group introduces himself over cocktails (Good Idea!) then you are told what you are allowed to shoot; bull, cow or calf. 50,000 moose must be taken each year to control herds in Sweden. I had to stand up and give a little explanation about the SMc concept and what I was testing at Norma to this group of very knowledgeable, mostly competition shooters. The next morning after breakfast everyone shows up with a stool, warm clothes and a thermos of hot (hopefully) coffee. Then after arrival at the hunting area you are given a map of the area to be hunted with numbered designated stands about 400 meters apart in a rough circle several kilometers in diameter. The numbers for each stand were stapled to a stake or tree. Next you draw lots for your stand. Figure 13 shows the warm up teepee where we ate and drew lots. You then either walk to, or are dropped off at your stand and there you stay. There are then several long legged (Marathon runner type) Swedes with dogs who move through the center of the circle with the dogs on short leashes. The leashes are tied to the dog handlers' belts to help pull them through the thigh deep snow.
